Strapi, a Paris, France-based open-source CMS, raises $4M in seed funding.
The round was led by Accel and Stride.vc, with participation from Solomon Hykes (Founder of Docker), Guillermo Rauch (Founder of Cloudup, Socket.io, Next.js and Zeit.co) and Eli Collins (Ex-CTO at Cloudera) and existing investors bpifrance, SGPA, François-Charles Debeunne (Altima) and Jean-Philippe Bellaiche (EIT Digital).
The company intends to use the funds to continue to expand operations and its business reach.
